Marqez Bimage

While the current A&M LB haul of Devodrick Johnson and Santino Marchiol is a great foundation, how the Aggies close down the stretch will determine the type of adjective that can be used to describe the group as a whole. It figures the Ags will try to add two of the following: Anthony Hines, Levi Jones, and Rahyme Johnson - with the latter two making plans to be in attendance Thursday night. While the Aggies could feasibly land 2 of those 3, it's not necessarily a given that any will happen. The general consensus for Hines is that he's Aggieland bound. I still agree with that sentiment, but look out for Florida. In talking to some industry sources, the Gators believe they are legitimate players. Florida also believes they are in the thick of it with Levi Jones. Jones spoke openly with me about his visits to A&M and how comfortable he is in College Station. He's set up officials at both A&M and UF, and I've also been told UCLA and LSU will be there in the end as well. Personally, I got the vibe from Levi and some folks at Westlake that this thing is trending in favor of the Aggies at the moment. I'll have the full interview (audio only) and highlights on Levi when I return to College Station this week. Hines and Jones affinity for the Gators comes from mainly one source: Randy Shannon - a guy who has recruited Anthony hard for a long time and has a pre-existing relationship with Levi Jones' father.As for Rahyme, it'll be interesting to talk to him after his visit. A West Coast kid visiting this late in the year could go a long way as the trip will still be fresh on his mind down the stretch. One to watch for: I told y'all last week, but Brenham's Marqez Bimage remains in contact with A&M regularly and will be back to Kyle Field on Thursday. He's still looking for that Aggie offer. With his frame, he could play OLB or DE in a similar frame to Jarrett Johnson.
